A three-storey building still under construction on Akanbi Crescent in the Yaba area of Lagos State has collapsed, a report by The PUNCH.
The building was said to have collapsed into another one beside it.
According to an eyewitness, a part of the building had collapsed late last year but the construction did not stop.
A resident of number 29, Lawani Street, a street off the scene of the incident, revealed that her car was affected last year when a section of the building collapsed, however, construction continued despite the police being called in.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency Response Unit was called to the scene but had yet to arrive.
So far, only a 16-year-old boy and another adult male have come out of the rubble while there is an unconfirmed number still trapped in the collapsed building.
